photoshop album

[simmonsrandal]

anyone using photoshop album. I really like is so far but have a couple questions.

1) is there a way when you putting a category tag on to a pic that you can do a bunch a one time. instead of clicking and dragging the tag?

2) does tagging do anything to the original file?

3) mY old way of catologing pics was to have a file for each year and inside would be my general pictures and sub folders for special events, etc. Do you know if you can look at one entire year with photoshop album?

3) is there a way to back up your whole album on a cd?

4) does ps album copy the picrures in its own file. the reason i ask is I may delete my folders i took the pictures from.

thanks

1. Select a bunch of pictures and drag a tag to one of the selected pictures.
2. Not that I know of. PhotoAlbum records the tagging in the catalog.
3. Easiest way I know of would be to create a '2003' tag and tag all 2003 images with it.
4. Yes, you can archive to cd
5. Depends on where the picture is coming from. If it's on a disk, it leaves it where it is. If it's coming from external media, it makes a local copy (unless you tell it not to).
